Description
I drew this to one of my absolute favorite Kanno songs, hence the title. So it's DEPRESSING and WOEFUL and SAD ;A;The significance of the gears-
Somebody brought this up in a comment, and since pretty much everything in Crow has to do with gears, or more specifically fantasy clockworks that are completely non-functional but cool looking, i'm gonna take some time and DRABBLE about it.
Basically, the theory behind the world of Crow is that everything is just one little piece of something bigger. from cells to people to populations to planets to universes, so on and so on. The final point that everything is expanding out toward is represented by a gigantic clock called Judgement, and within it's works you'll find earth and everything else ever ticking along in some unfathomably HUUUUGE continuous (though not undynamic) pattern. Hence all the gears everywhere, which can be seen/sensed by the crows.
Characters like Rain and Nobel are called crows. Crows are the gears, or were the gears, before they malfunctioned and were dropped from the system. Simply put, they woke up and got thrown away. Normally they just fade away, but sometimes they linger..
And yes I am trying to draw this as a comic X D;. But this month sucks for that.. so... next month i hope i can pounce on it more seriously. It won't be able to go very fast since I'm working all the time, but every little bit counts X D;;

Wow, like the history owo the title and draw made me remember of a debate I always have with some friends "How do you know that you're are now awake and this isn't a dream?" XD but, even though it's nothing to do with the draw, I really liked the gears thing o.o
Love the draw too, like the contrast, but I like the left-side (the blue one XD)
Great work~

I love the idea. Clocks, I have a minor obsession about. Ame with clockwork and gears. And combine that with your artwork, I think I'm in love.
I cant wait for the comic.

Hundreds of comments, but I will add my 2 cents. Brilliant and interesting concept, and hope we can see the comic, I know I would buy a copy. Seems a pity if such a good idea goes to waste.

Lovely use of colors and contrast~ The anatomy was also executed well~: >
Though I personally wish it was bigger. I'd love to stare at all the awesome details you placed here and there~

sorry, this is the third comment I left withinm the last 4 minutes. Anyway, This is absolutely amazing, but more incredible is the story behind it, I love the story Well, in the way you put it, it doesnt really sound like much of a story, more like a world. I cant wait to see how the story of a crow would unfold.

That is so cool
I mean it. Really.
I really like how it is different on one side and different on the other. Truly inspirational to me. :]

That's just so kickass, I love the flowing change between both parts of the image, especially with the trees turning into gears (Very interesting explanation behind them as well!). And wahhhh, the cats! Even they're made to be different, but still generally stand in the same area. I feel it's fitting how the one in the gear-side is positioned away from us.. I like that very much for some reason.
The guy's eye in the serene-blue side seems to be a bit too high up so it keeps making me believe he's been wounded. Like punched in the eye. If that was the intention, poor thing ;.;
I am in love with this, great work!

I loved the plot explaining the gears.
And the reason why he can listen the clockworks is really cool!

...for some reason, this image reminds me of the anime - "Key: The Metal Idol". Its an oldie, but goodie (guess that dates me too... >_< ) The concept/line work/color, blend so perfectly in all of your work. love this!
